Reported Speech Masterclass | "She said that?"

Master Reported Speech! Have you ever tried to tell a story or repeat what someone said, only to get stuck on the grammar? You aren't alone. Reported speech (indirect speech) is one of the most challenging parts of English grammar because so many things change at once! In this quick lesson, we go beyond the basics to give you a full "Grammar Toolbox" for reporting conversations accurately and naturally. In this video, you will learn: ✔️ What is Reported Speech? Why we use it and how it differs from Direct Speech. ✔️ The Backshift Rule: Learn how to "time travel" with your verbs (Present ➡️ Past, Will ➡️ Would). ✔️ Perspective Shifts: How to change pronouns and place/time words (Today ➡️ That day) so your story makes sense. ✔️ The Reporting Verb Trap: When to use "Say" vs "Tell," and why we sometimes don't need to backshift at all!
